Holding Fast The Doctrines of Grace

Dividing the Spoil

This is why we pray for people we’ve never met, in places we’ve never been, for answers we may never see — at least not on this side of eternity.

11 The Lord gives the command; the women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host: 12 “Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will divide the spoil!” (Psalms 68:11-12 NASB)

Do you carry a burden for someone, or something that in the natural seems very far away? Don’t brush it off. Stop and pray right where you are. Pray with all your heart for however long you have to. Pray, even if the odds of learning the outcome are slim. If there is a victory to be had, God has decreed that you take part in the plunders of the conquest! She who remains at home will divide the spoil!
